John Robison Gaming Guru - Page 69  Ask the Slot Expert: Why do I win fewer jackpots today?21 August 2013
I'm a heavy slot player at the Hard Rock in Florida. I lose 5-10k a day. I was in the high limit slot area and I put $100 into a machine and played. I hit a few hundred here and there. When I cashed out I noticed $5,000 in the machine. I have no idea what portion is mine. The casino called me the next ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Are slot results affected by time of day?14 August 2013
Like most players I have my favorite games. One game I play only seems to pay at approximately the same time every time I play it. I've played this game at various times and on various days without much luck, however it has a pattern of paying, including jackpots, when I play it around 10:30 at night. ... (read more)

Ask the Slot Expert: Betting more coins increases chance of hitting progressive31 July 2013
I have heard Oklahoma casinos have no gaming regulations because they are all Indian casinos. Does that mean they can change the payout with the click of a mouse or if a machine seems to pay too much? Can they do whatever they want? Can they have on and off peak hours? The slots seem so tight lately. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Changing RNGs in a slot machine24 July 2013
We live in South Florida where there are no regulations from the state as far as the casinos go. We have several Indian casinos and several privately run racinos. I am finding that the slots pay nothing as far as any of the jackpots go and most of the time they pay very little.

Ask the Slot Expert: When a slot machine differentiates between coupons and currency10 July 2013
Your column has helped me understand the slot machines overall, however I had an experience recently that irritated me.
I received a coupon for $35.00 in the mail to play at my favorite casino. I inserted the coupon into a slot machine, then noticed that the slot machine next to me was giving a lady lots of bonuses. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Is inserting currency luckier than inserting tickets in a slot machine?3 July 2013
I live in the Palm Springs, California area and play at one of the six Indian casinos that are located here.
If I just won several hundred dollars on a video game slot machine, would I have less of a chance to win again at the next machine I decide to play on if I use my redemption ticket versus ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Misperceptions about the RNG26 June 2013
If events are
random, controlled by the RNG, why is it when I miss a pay I can get
the same losing results often (for example, single bar--blank--single bar,
or something along those lines). Many times I get the same results twice in a row. Could it be I hit the button the exact time so many times?
I ... (read more)
